Storm International’s new Shangri La casino in Yerevan, Armenia, held its grand opening May 2.

Storm became a partner in the existing Cleopatra Casino several months ago with the intention of developing a luxury facility that would meet international standards.

The complex is currently 2,400 square meters, with planned expansion to 3,200 square meters by the end of 2008. The main gaming floor features 12 tables, with the possibility to add tables as required. The casino has a poker room and a multi-level slot area with 85 state-of-the-art machines. Three bars, a restaurant and a fully equipped stage for shows and concerts complete the offering. Parking is available for 100 cars.

“Together with my partners we believe in the future of Armenia and are proving our belief by introducing a facility that will meet and exceed the highest International standards,” said Michael Boettcher, president of Storm International.
